Everything I strive for and more, in everything I do…
Forever grateful to this new customer for taking the time to write a review of her first order. It really does put a smile on my face 🤍

If you’re looking for a gift for Father’s Day forget the predictable boring socks or the boring classic Shirt and treat them to a masculine scented candle - and trust me, you’ll love it just as much…
Cuban To***co & Oak is steeped with rich spiced to***co, vintage cologne and a suggestion of cognac, this velvety fragrance is powerfully evocative. The smoked woods of oak and ebony dry to reveal incense and dark musk leaving a sophisticated lingering warmth.

Top notes: Lemon, Lime, Mint, Cognac

Heart notes: Jasmine, Iriswood, Clove, Vetiver

Base notes: Oak, Incense, To***co, Musk

Order this weekend and I can post on Monday.

Have a wonderful day - you don’t have to be a Mother to celebrate being awesome 🤩
I’m still very much here and I’m truly grateful for all my returning customers. I returned to full time work last April, back to my roots at Next in the Buying department, hence my almost silence on the squares. Sadly social media is soooo time consuming with very little gains, I rely on word of mouth recommendations and awareness through gift purchases. I’m restocking next weekend and if I find the time I’ll upload a few more fab products to the website.
I’m currently testing a new Essential Oils blend, one of my own blends and so far it’s divine, a beautiful blend ideal for the ‘kitchen candle’.
Big shout out to all small business owners, keep smiling, grit your teeth and do what you love ❤️

Hey 👋🏻
Does anyone else feel like Spring is just around the corner? I personally cannot wait for longer lighter days, it definitely helps to get a spring back in my step💚

I took a break from posting on here throughout January (Instagram will use that against me) …I needed some thinking space, and time plan the next few months and tbh I’m not there yet. I have lots of ideas but little time to bring them to fruition, so I need your help 💡

What would you like to see in 2024?🌟

Minimal. Contemporary. Luxury. Scent. British. London. Oud.
This exquisite fragrance is all of the above, think boutique hotel, stylish and sophisticated London Oud. It’s one of my favourite go-to scents. What’s yours?

Let’s talk Cuban To***co & Oak; I’ll be honest some people are totally put off just by the name ‘To***co’ but once I’ve lured them in to having a sniff they are blown away. This is a masculine/feminine scent sold in equal measures. It’s been described as ‘smells like a hot man’ or ‘omg that’s divine, I wish my husband smelt like that 😳’ .
It’s woody, rich, bourbon, classy, full bodied and charming’.
Candles start at £20 so why not give this one a try?

Loving the luxury Cheetah candle vessel with the contemporary slim lid. Our best selling Black Fig & Vetiver scented candle is the perfect combination. There’ll be additions to this scent very soon….
Have a great weekend!

…….and BREATHE…..
After the mother of all days yesterday I’m taking a moment to enjoy this glorious morning.
I was locked out of this Insta account for the best part of 5 hours yesterday, finally had my ‘selfie video’ approved at 8.30pm…….huge sigh of relief however the tumble drier then refused to work (and is still on strike) and then Apple Pay didn’t work in the co-op so I had to purchase the kids packed lunch groceries on hubbies business card 😳😂 oh and still not photographed the other VOGUE candles 🙁…..feels like I’m spinning too many plates right now!!
Today has to be a better day 🤞🏻roll on the Spring sunshine.

06/02/2023

So Instagram, this is me, looking very tired after spending around 5 hours trying to sort out my account.....

VOGUE. The first drops are online now, more being added over the weekend in time for Valentines…..it’s not all about the colour red!
The glass is thicker, super stylish and sleek with a rounded base, hand blown and printed, each one is unique and comes with a contemporary slim lid.

As a small business selling ‘scents’ online selling can be quite tricky. We all know how much we love to pop into a store, pick up a candle and have a sniff right?
So, I’m looking to expand my stockists and looking for new wholesale opportunities, this is where I need your help….I’d love to know where you’d like to see Profumo products. Ideally Homewares & Lifestyle stores. Please drop your suggestions below and tag the store……if your suggestion opens up a new opportunity I’ll send you a free gift in return as a thank you xx
